lornicd by the parts ot the two bores of the nnxing nozzle and ot the opposite outside iroveinents in ln'ectors of which the l'olg assembling, that is to say, il the one nozzle lowing is a specification.

'.lhe present invention relates to improve,

f ispushed too far or too little into the othe will change the dimensions of these pas-- ments in injectors and hasI the object tor improve the working of such injectors by a pecl liar construction and arrangement ot' the parts and to facilitate the assembling otE the various parts ci which the injector composed.

lhe invention :further relates to an injector in which after it has been started an additional conveyance oit water can be effected by the overflow or slohbering tube without any valves or the 'like having `to be operated. without the vater and .hot steam being lost, which are discharged `from the mixing chamber during the starting period.

The invention lastly relates to the ari sages. .-l change in the dimensions of th passacs will, however,-uutavorabl rangement ot' certain hose connect-ions when i injectors are employed in pairs, by which arrangement the number of necessary hose connections is reduced and the freezing o't the one injector is avoided, when it might, have become defective and only one .of the injectors can be kept Working.

For obtaining,r these objects the present invention vprovides that the insides of the 1 condensation or mixing; nozzle at the point I ot'inlet t'or the water and at both sides of the tiret overflow. and the opposite outsides z o' the suction 'nozzle and the steam nozzle are iliade ot e. cylindrical shape. Also ,the inside oit the suction nozzle at its nari-cwest part and the opposite outside' of the steam nozzle rare if a cylindrical shape. From this `4arrangfeinent it results that at the nari-cwest part of the annular passage :formed between the suction. and the steam nozzles for the suction steam, and at the inlet lor the water at the condensation nozzle and the` boi'elof the. condensation nozzle inoli- ..both sides of the first overdow and of the steam nozzle must he ofabsolutely the same area. lt is extremely diiliciilty to obtain this with the conical nozzles hitherto usually employed as the least. inaccuracy in ao the e 'cicncy of the injector and incre: the loss of water. This explains the frcquently obscrifed tact, that injectors of thc type hitherto used show, according to the c wear of the nozzles, in consequence of the in creasing irregularity ot' the passage'aper turcs at both vsides 'ot the first overflow an increasing,l loss of water. Even itthe no'z zles are accurately made after gages and are properly assembled, it will sometimes happen, that the injcctoi-:inust be readjusted A when tested, which will of course consider ably increase the cost of manufacture.

The object of the present invention is to obriate these existing troubles so as to simplify the repairing of injectors on the one hand, and on the other to reduce their mannfactoring cost, and lastly Vto render them` less sensitive against wear of the nozzles;

A further improvement in the construction of injectors consists according to the present invention in that the steam passagcs,'which form thc communication between the suction nozzle and the steam chamber enter -into the conical seating sur tace of the conc closing the steam nozzle between the scat proper of the conc and the bore ot the steam nozzle, whereas hitherto these passages were arranged at the bottom ot' the cylindrical enlargement of the central nozzle. l'n consequence of the new arrangement much less steam than hitherto will flow into the suction nozzle when the central or steam nozzle is completely opene'd,'fs0 that the sucked up water will be less highly heated than. it istlie case in injectors, the suction steam passages of which are arranged in the.'aforementioned manner.

Preferably `these improvements' in the nozzles according to the present invention are embodied in such apparatus, in which the mixing or -overflow Chalabi-1i"may,` after the injector has been started, be used for an additional conveyance' of Water. For this purles pose the suction chamber and the mixing chamber are preferably made in injectors of this type to communicate with the water tank by means of two tubes reaching into the water, these tubes being either entirely valveless or having valves of such a type that a continuous unobstructed passage from the suction or mixing chamber respectively to those ends of the two tubes which are located toward the water tank can be produced. The tube communicating with the mixing or overflow chamber will hereinafter be termed the supplementary tube, as it is employed to supplement the conveyance of water after the injector has been started. Thissupplementary tube mayiduring the starting period of the injector act as an overflow tube and guide the water, the steam, and the -air emerging trom the overflow chamber into the water tank.

lll/'hen the injector has been started, the' yefciency of the injector is increased by the two tubes sucking up the water, whereby the reliability is increased by no intermediate valves subject to wear being necessary, and whereby finally the loss of water by the mixing valvesis reduced. Such injectors maybe arranged in pairs and for insuring a greater simplicity the pipes leading to the water tank may be joined in pairs as shall be hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through the preferred embodiment of the invention, Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through an injector according to Fig. 1, in which the suction and the mixing chambers communicate by means ot two independent pipes with the water tank, and in which the mixing overflow chamber 1s provided with a mixing or f overflow valve. which may be operated only when the supplementary tube communicating with thc mixing chamber is or has been shutoff. Fig. 3fis an embodiment accord-- ing; to Fig. 2 in which the mixing valve is arranged in a valve chamber laterally projccting'l from the supplcmcntaryv pipe and can be .made to communicate with the mining chamber by means ot a three way cock; Fig. 4t i a plan view ot two injectors,'each of which communicates with its separate suction piilc,'\\f'hcrcas the two supplementary pipes join ftio one common pipe. l `ig.'5 is a plan View of two injectors, the supplemenvtary pipe oii thc one injector being con nectcd with thc suction pipe 'of the other injector.

ln the drawings 1' is the body or cas- ,steam supply, a connection 3 for the water supply, and an overflow or slobberi'ng aperture el, through which the water entering into the mixing chamber 5 can escape. rlhe 'injector has besides, as customary, a mixing or condensation nozzle G, a pressure nozzle 7, a connection piece 3 for the vater delivery pipe, a feed valve 9, a central or steam nozzle 10. and a starting nozzle 11. The condensation nozzle 6 and the pressure or delivery nozzle 7 are as usual connected with each other oii their narrowest part by means of a connection piece 12, which contains overliow openings 13, through which the surplus water can escape.

The condensation nozzle -6 is conically tlared to vard the water chamber 14 and has at its narrowest part the customary overflow openings 15, thrmxgh which the surplus water can pass into the mixing chamber 5 when the injector is started. The two sections 16 and 17 ot the bore of the conciensation nozzle at the two sides of these overtlow openings 15 are of a cylindrical shape; likewise the rear part 18 of the bore leading into the water chamber le is cylindrically shaped.

The suction or starting nozzle 11 is carried by the cylindrical head 19 of the steam nozzle 10. On its outside opposite the inlet 18 for the water of the condensation nozzle it is of a cylindrical shape and has a bore which is conically enlarged toward both sides. The two conical ends of the bore communicate by means or" a cylindrical part 20. rThe outside of the steam .nozzle 10 opposite to this part 20, and theA outside of this steam nozzle 10 opposite to the cylindrical parts 16 and 17 of the bore ot the condensation nozzle are made of-a cylif'uirical shape. lThus considerable independence ot tbe accuracy with which theassembling is carried out is obtained, as the area of the passages iormed4 by the saidparts Jfor the steam and the water rcspectivclv will remain the same even if the assembling should not be so accurately carried out, which is not the case with injectors of the hitherto customary kind, which employ conical nozzlcs only.

The bore 21 ot the steam nozzlel 10 is closed by a conical plug 22 coperat-ing with a conical bore *23 inl the cylindrical part-19 of the steam nozzle. lBehind the scat of the cone 22 are arranged steam passages 24, through which steam can pass from the steam 'chamber 25 into the annular passage foi-mcd by the outside ot' the steam nozzle l() and the bore ot the starting nozzle 1l, when, the cone 22 is lifted.

TWhen the injeema 'troni the teni( 34 through the enpplementery 120 whiehnn the pressure period in the mixing'lz veyeneeie hy itselitE known, but only by' means of mechanically operated valves. If for some reason or other an additional con veyance or" Water through the supplementary pipe cannotI or shall not occur, the supplementary pipe 30 is shut olf from the tank 34 by the cock 32 and the mixing valve 36 or 45 respectively according to Figs? and 3 is turned on. For the purpose the screw 38 is screwed up in the casing Ll() by means ot the handle 3T, so thatthe valve 36 can play freely. ln the emlmdiment according to Fig. 3 the valve is in the above mentioned case adjusted in euch a manner. that the lateral passage 35 comes into alincment with the passage lll", so that the pipe 30 is sluit olf and the valve can act as mixing valve. In this case the injectors shown in Figs. 2 and 3 act as ordinary injectors, and Water is conveyed through the suction pipe Q9 only while the pipe 30 remains'idle and the mixing valves act in the usual manner allowing hot `Water. steam, air and the like to escape when the injector is started While as soon as a vacuum appears in the mixing chamber they will settle down on their seat-s and close the 'mixing chamber against the' outer atmosphere. y

In Fig. t is shown a plan view of two injectors, which are to be employed simultaneously, say on a locomotive or the like. These injectors have the nozzles constructed as shown and described with regard to Fig. l, and the special constructional form according to Fig. 2. Oi? course also injectors accoi-ding to Fig. 3 or injectors in which no safety overflow valvey aty all is provided may be used. The two supplementary pipes 30 are joined to one common pipe 49, while the pipes 29 are left separate, so that only three hosel connections lead from the tivo injectors to the water tank.

In the embodiment according to Fig. 5 the suction pipe 29 of the one injector commu- .nicates with the supplementary pipe 30 of the other injector, so that both injectors communicate by two pipes 50 only with the water tank. In consequence of these hose connections the number of hose between the locomotive and the tender can be considerably reduced. Besides the hose connection according to Fig. 5 avoids that the one injector can freeze, in case for some reason or.

the other only one injector is working and the two do not alternate. For it' 'the one injector is started, the hotI surplus Waterfp will 'flow from the mixing chamber of the one injector through its supplementary pipe into the Water pipe of the other injector and heat the latter so that its hose cannot freeze. It' the other, say the left, injector is already working, it will suck the water through both its pipes, that is from its lett pipe and the pipe of the injector on the right. It the injectors have not such a pipe connection, the aforedescribed movement of the water is Leccese idle injector mayA become choked, both injectors will stop.

Working. It' iu this case thel defective sup-i plementary pipe iscut otf from the injector on the right, and the mixing valve isturned' on. the injector on the right:- will Work like an ordinary injector, independently of the other injector on the lefti The necessity of employing the mixing valves will also be observed, if with' the pipe connections according to Fig. 5 'the one inj jector, say the right one is to be started, While the other, th'evleft; one is already Working. In this case thehot water, which esl flows through the right supplementary pipe.

into the lett suction pipe may cause the left mjector to refuse.

nly necessary to shut ot the supplementary pipe of the right injector on starting theylatter and to turn on the mixing Valve. After starting, when the right injector is fully at Work, the supplementary vipe can be turned on agaith,` whereupon oth injectors will continue lWorking uninterruptedly. i i
